Krehse Palestine

Krehse

Krehse is a small, green village on the outskirts of Dura , with its own football pitch and small funfair. The houses are spread out over a lush hill surrounded by olive trees and with fantastic views across the valley. In Dura there is a proper town centre with all manner of shops and facilities.

What To Do

In Dura you will find the tomb of the prophet Noah is a humble, surprisingly unspectacular place, with a very small mosque built over it. But the adjacent school is an elegant and attractive building, dating back to before the British mandate.

There is also a well maintained graveyard for the town’s martyrs on this site on the greener fringe of town. The town centre itself is a much more bustling, lively place, with a big central taxi rank, a shaded fruit and vegetable market and many different shops and restaurants.

Where To Eat

Fresh produce, snacks and cold drinks can all be purchased from shops and stalls in Dura town centre, while there are also small restaurants serving up traditional Palestinian fare such as shawarma, falafel and hummus.

Where To Stay

Krehse is just 11km southwest of Hebron, where there are four hotels. Alternatively, there is a great range of accommodation in Bethlehem, Jerusalem or Ramallah.
